International Tender for Guangming Scientists Valley Urban Design and Major Projects Architectural Design is about to start. The official announcement of this international tender will be issued soon. The project is now open for pre-registration. Design teams from all over the world are welcome to pre-register.
Project Background
Shenzhen Guangming Science City, as the pilot zone for the Comprehensive National Science Center in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), will be built into the core functional area of the International Science and Technology Innovation Center in the GBA, attracting the world’s top scientific researchers and talents. It is to become a world leading base for basic science research and a large open source of original innovation. Guangming Science City plans to have “One Core Two Zones” as the Cluster of Facilities, in which the “One Core” is the Large-scale Scientific Facilities Cluster, covering 5-square-kilometer core area and 1-square-kilometer expansion area, to arrange world-class large-scale scientific facilities and to provide space for future expansions.

Project Positioning
As an important functional area of Guangming Science City, Guangming Scientists Valley is a “home for scientists” in Guangming District, built for scientific talents, and also the center of supporting services for the Large-scale Scientific Facilities Cluster. With scientists as the main user group, Scientists Valley will create an international scientific campus that provides a sense of belonging, and merges scientific elements with the natural landscape to build an integrated service supporting system for work, communication and living.
Construct a unique service core that satisfies the scientific function – It will provide high-quality public service facilities of international standard and featured services supporting scientific development, enabling different talents to learn about the frontier of science and obtain inspiration for innovation.
Build a creative, shared social space – Through integrated design, it will create a comprehensive and immersive shared social space, and build a large-scale scientific social network.
Set up an international sample area – Create an artistic and cultural atmosphere, build up a work, travel and recreation area with a sense of belonging, warmth and vitality.
